Drs often do not understand the role of the strength trainer in the recovery process. ST is not managed care and has no insurance component to it. This is sad but nonetheless true.
PT is designed under the rules of managed care, what the insurance ciompany will pay for. Pitchers, grannies and defensive tackles often receive the same protocols. PT is not gearede to return an athlete to dynamic athletic performance. The ST is.
But only if the ST is proficient in power training. PwT is the movement of loads rapidly vs repetitions at max or near max weight. The latter creates muscular growth, necessary hypertrophy, the former trains the nervous and muscularsystem for high speed joint movements. Pitching, sprinting, jumping, similar.
You will know th PwTrainer, he will often be seen training like this:
It all depends on your docs and who they use for PT---I have had both shoulder operated on , one cut, three hours on the table, and the other scoped---Iwas in PT the morning after the surgery was performed--my docs and PT handled the Jets in football and the Rangers, Devils and Islanders in hockey
I have full mobility in both arms and my surgeries were when I was older not a youth in top shape
